Abstract

A Japanese man experienced three episodes of hypovolemic shock and was diagnosed with systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS). He developed SCLS exacerbation 2 days after receiving a second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, 1 year after the third episode. After fluid therapy and albumin administration, we initiated terbutaline and theophylline prophylaxis for SCLS. A literature review revealed that SCLS attacks often occur 1-2 days after the second COVID-19 vaccination. Patients with a history of SCLS should avoid COVID-19 vaccination and be carefully monitored for 1-2 days if they receive the vaccine.
